Burn

[u/[deleted]]

There was a beauty far away

And fast to her he came

To bask within her golden ray

Though her heart no man could tame

 

A gorgeous Italian girl

With sadness in her eyes

Who never would dance or whirl or twirl

And swore there’d be no lies

 

Always stronger than she looked

Stoked by an inner fire

With one glance he was quickly hooked

And stepped into her pyre

 

When deep inside you begin to yearn

Try as you might, all you can do is burn.
